Local and state dignitaries will gather to cut the ribbon on the Doane collection of seven vintage cars. The festivities start at 11 AM with a reception where you can mingle and talk cars with Russell Doane, collector; Bob Lorkowski, who restored many of the cars, and other car enthusiast. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for 12 noon.

The Golden Age of American Auto Design – the Doane Collection represents a lifetime of dreaming, more than 20 years of searching, and at least a half-million dollars’ investment. The private collection of Dunn County agribusiness leader Russell Doane will be displayed through October 2009. The oldest car in the collection is also the rarest: a 1942 Buick convertible, one of only two believed remaining in the world.
